"I Don't Know" lyrics

"Where's the daytime go when I'm asleep at night?"
To the other side of the world
They're all in the light
"How do they sleep at all if they got sunshine in their eyes?"
They don't
They go to bed about the time you rise
"If they sleep while I'm awake, how do we talk to them?
What time do we...
How do we know when?
If today here's tomorrow there
Can that be so?"
I don't know

"Were you as big as you are now when I was born?"
I've been this big a long time
It's why my face is worn
"But were you ever little, and if so, where was I?"
Yes, I was, but you weren't anywhere or anywhy
"How could I be nowhere if I'm here today?
Nothing is just nothing
Who showed me the way?
And if something comes from nothing, what makes it grow?"
I don't know

"Who's got all the answers if it isn't you?"
No one's got them all, though some will say they do
"Well, if they try to fool me, then what should I say?"
If you're just polite, they'll usually go away
"What's the dumbest question that ever there could be?"
The dumbest one's the one you never ask of me
The wisest answer's one you learned a long time ago:
I don't know
Yeah, the wisest answer's one you learned a long time ago:
I don't know
